Face Fitting

The Face Fitting step assists you to set wireframes to
frame up the facial features as precise as possible since
when the actor starts to talk and move, the settings of the wireframe affect the result most.

Basic Tools

Change Wireframe Color:
Click this button and cycle through different wire frame colors.
This can be used if both the original image and the wire frames
colors are the same color, as it would make it difficult to view and make corrections.

Select:
Click this button to pick and move components of the wire frame.
This button is pressed and activated by default.

You may move the wires or the individual wire
frame points.

Move the frame points get a wire shape
more suited to the face contours.

To move multiple points simultaneously,
hold the Ctrl key and click the desired
control points. The selected control points will turn red.
Release the Ctrl key and then move
the points to the desired location.

Rotate:
Select a wire frame or multiple frame points and click this button to rotate them.

Scale:
Select a wire frame or multiple frame points and click this button to resize them.

Fine-Tuning the Wireframes

button is pressed (in basic mode).

Use the basic tools described in the last section to roughly frame up the wire frames as close to
the facial-feature contours (skull, eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth) as possible.

Click to press the Detail
button to show more wire frame control points.

Thoroughly move the control points to make the wire frames even closer to the facial features.
